At its Sept. 23 Connect keynote, Meta announced new smartglasses, including a camera-free pair, and a VR headset that the author says could rival Apple Vision Pro. Meta stressed privacy features, while the article argues that companies should prepare for workplace use.
The piece points to smartglasses applications for remote guidance and describes possible warehouse uses, such as following instructions or reporting stock problems by voice. Meta’s Muse AI agent, released a few weeks earlier, was at the top of Apple’s App Store and already integrated with note-taking app Granola.
Meta also emphasized privacy features amid organizational concerns over data handling. The article notes that Snap launched Specs the previous week; Google and XReal were expected to launch glasses that fall, while Vonder announced AI glasses on Sept. 22 that can record conversations and create a personal memory graph.
